S4E22 - "Cathexis" (VOY S1 E12)

Lt. Peter Durst is ROLLIN'

Chakotay has gone into a persistent vegetative state! Which means his spirit is free to do some light possession of Voyager crewmembers in order to turn the ship away from a nebula fool of heavy possession aliens. It's kind of a snoozer! Plus, the holobois go back to the origins of the Janeway Lambda One program to a much spookier rendition of Lord Burleigh's home on... THE HOLODECK!

S4E21 - "Persistence of Vision" (VOY S2 E8)

We Demand Tiny Crewmembers

Jan's writing the description here and he doesn't really remember much about this episode. Perhaps most important to internalize is Captain Janeway's new nickname is J-Sway. She got that nickname romancing bargain bin Colin Firth on... THE HOLODECK!

S4E20 - "Warlord" (VOY S3 E10)

2-liter Tuesdays!

Somehow, Voyager month has returned. Kes gets possessed by a psychopathic warlord, which means Jennifer Lien gets to have some fun running around giving her henchmen brain aneurysms. Plus, this is the first ever episode taking place on Neelix's Paxau resort program. You've never seen so many close-ups of feet before on... THE HOLODECK!

S4E19 - "Thirty Days" (VOY S5 E8)

$20 Banh Mi

It's an ocean in SPACE! This is the infamous episode where Tom Paris gets demoted for becoming an eco-terrorist on a planet made entirely out of water. Why? Because the planet's government simply just... doesn't want to fix the problem (even though it's literally fixable). The holobois talk about the value of replicator rations (how many rations would you be willing to spend for a single Banh mi?) and there's some amazing Captain Proton jetpack action as the legendary Delaney Twins join Kim and Paris on... THE HOLODECK!

S4E18 - "wej Duj" (LDS S2 E9)

USS Smorgasburg is in Docking Bay 1

The boys add to the expanding Trek to the Holodeck Universe's starship fleet with the USS Smorgasburg, a ship traveling Federation space to offer the best in multi-ethnic Federation cuisines on offer. Oh, and they rate the excellent Lower Decks episode that references both Hawai'i and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier on... THE HOLODECK!

S4E17 - "Rules of Engagement" (DS9 S4 E18)

Rashomon: Deep Space 9

A two-hander again, featuring Marc Cooper, as we watch the backdoor pilot for STARFLEET LEGAL in this LeVar Burton-directed banger. Worf is on trial, but not for all the good reasons (Iike being a bad friend, brother, dad...) but for being bad at captaining a starship (he blew up a civilian transport without hesitation). It's a pretty cool mashup of Kurosawa's Rashomon and Spike Lee's Clockers as various characters give their point of view direct-to-camera, including Dax's from... THE HOLODECK!

S4E16 - "Haven" (TNG S1 E11)

Wait, Armin Shimerman is in this?

It's Majel Barrett's first appearance on The Next Generation and, as will often be the case, she's here due to some wedding shenanigans. In this case, it's Troi's! Who is for some reason arranged to be married to some nerd named Wyatt, who's always dreaming of a blonde lady. And there's a ton of drama going on starting with Riker stuck in deep thought on... THE HOLODECK!

SNW Mini-Ep

Darius and Dylan are by themselves

Darius and Dylan are alone in this Mini Episode. They chat about recent SNW episodes and how Romeo + Juliet is a masterpiece of a movie. All than and more on this MINI.... TREK TO THE HOLODECK!!!

S4E15 - "You Are Cordially Invited" (DS9 S6 E7)

Did Tom Space miss the War?!

Back from our (un)planned single-week hiatus, Marc Cooper joins for the ultimate wedding episode of Star Trek: that of Worf and Jadzia Dax! It's silly, funny, and one of the best Star Trek has to offer. But how does it rate on our scale? Find out why Bashir and O'Brien want to "kill Worf" on... THE HOLODECK!

S4E14 - "Pen Pals" (TNG S2 E15)

Is Ensign Davies doing Meth?!

In this episode, there are two A-plots equally underdeveloped: Data violates the Prime Directive so he can talk to an alien tween and Riker puts Wesley in charge of a crack team of space geologists. And yeah, maybe one of them is smoking meth. Featuring season 2's only on-location shot of Picard horseback riding on... THE HOLODECK!
